My husband has his pedometer in his pocket when he's on the riding lawn mower and it records a lot of steps.
When I walk the dogs in the big grassy field in the morning, they stop a lot to sniff and eat grass and my pedometer records a very low step count---this morning it was 497 steps in 25 minutes.0 -

It also counts differently depending on where you place the pedometer (that I have noticed). I was usually carry my iPod in my waistband on my hip. It records my walks. One time I put it in my pocket due to weather and it inflated the steps. I knew because there is a pedometer on my shoe. So, our lessons , theses tools do help, but they only estimate.0 -

Awesome Alpha! You're on fire in the total mileage!!
Do you use Fitbit? I never did until I got their scale but now that I have an account I am addicted to their little mileage badge program... I get them based on my MFP pedometer. You should check it out!0 -

No, I sure wish I could, but it is a little more than I can afford. I just use my little iPod and I leave the pedometer on my shoe for all time. The iPod is just for my exercise walking.0 -

I didn't put much effort into any kind of exercise last week, so those totals are a happy surprise. I've started well this week, and I do plan to keep it up.0
